Bakau's Top Ten 2013 Movie

Dear bloggie,

Without further ado... drums roll pls...

My top ten best movie I seen in 2013:
  1. Unbeatable - Great acting by Nick Cheung and Cystral Lee, some over the top MMA action, a plot similar to The Warrior... and tada... my favorite Chinese movie of the year
  2. Warm Bodies - Zombie, who doesn't love em? A interesting mix of comedy, romance and zombie make this my favorite zombie flick of the year
  3. 2 Guns - This movie is a riot, stealing the thunder from other no-brainer-action movies like Fast n Furious 6, Olympus have fallen, GI Jane, Wolverine
  4. Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Overall good but I feel not as good as episode 1.
  5. Before Midnight - The evolution of the "Before XXX" series is indeed a unique unlike any other. Part 1 was about "Finding the One", part 2 was more about "2nd Chance", this one however if I had to sum it up "True Love". Both Ethan and Delpy gave stellar performance, the script contained some really good lines, the awesome fight scene near the end... However it's the darker tone of the overall movie that it imprint into me compared to the 2nd one which make me rate it not as good as the 2nd part. Still no doubt best romance movie of the year
  6. Pacific Rim - Gundam, Kaiju, Japanese Babe, Apocalypse... Popcorn seller movie of the year hands down. "We're cancelling the apocalypse!"
  7. Frozen - This movie easily brush aside Despicable Me 2, Monster U, Epic, The Croods to wins the best animated movie (and musical) for this year
  8. Gravity - Tips Pacific Rim and The Hobbit for the best CGI movie. Love the concept but feel the story is a bit too action oriented for my liking
  9. Star Trek: Into Darkness - Great movie with notable performance from Benedict as the villain Khan. Story wise, some hardcore Star Trek fans would argue too action packed, I think the balance was just nice. Only complaint is the other villains crew with their uniform is too gay.
  10. Rush - The unexpected movie that blew me away this year. Drama, action, fast cars, larger than live, great acting, documentary... this movie has it all...
Worthy mentions:
Ender's Game, Now You See Me, Elysium, Despicable Me 2, Oblivion, World War Z, Ironman 

Over hyped:
Man of Steel, Hobbit: Desolation of Smurf
Didn't see but thinks highly rated:
Captain Philip, Great Gatsby, Blackfish, The Great Beauty, 12 Years as a Slave

Didn't see but thinks highly sucked:
Tanda Putera, Justin Bieber: Believe
